The little things are pretty amazing about Linux.

@ Guru Meditator!

>"Well, I'll be.. Shows how little I have used DOS I only ever used DOS when I had to. Oh well, that's just one thing. There are other things like the 'find' command that I'm sure DOS doesn't have. Alot of the tools in /proc are pretty cool. DOS is weak, copying entire subfolders with their contents seems to be impossible."


dir /s will do that

if you want to search c:\ for boot.ini as an example you would type dir /s c:\boot.ini
wild cards work too eg ... dir /s c:\*boot*
It will find all copies and tell you their locations.

Yeah, Xcopy does all files and subdirectory copying. Like the others have said.

@ Waccoon
Well I think Linux/Unix is a complete mess and a hell of a learning curve and I use it every day!!

You could lease yourself out as a samba expert and not know about the rest if you wanted too.

It's not easy to configure, and there are so many programs to do one thing written by so many other that you're not sure what to do and the .man thing is so cryptic saying, go to this script configure this thing, then go to that script and do this thing and you do them both only to find they call 16 other scripts that all need the . man treatment that each have 4 other scripts to edit and AAARRGGHHH!

It's a nightmare.

Mind you once you have it working properly, it's great. Very stable.
